The practice is to close in August. The NHS has said it will take at least a year to find a replacement to service more than 4,000 potential patients.

Surely, the local councillors should have been on the case months ago and demanded that this situation be sorted, with no gaps to service provision, rather than using it as a grandstanding opportunity to promote themselves.

In common with all residents in Islington, I want to see action, not words, from this council. So let’s see less of the councillors taking their photo opportunities and more focus on achieving results that matter for the community.
